no if it says it needs 350 then u shud giv it 350 or it wont work properly anything can happen.

u shudnt mess about wid power requirements it alwez spoils stuff...i had an external HDD and insted of using its adaptor one day i usd some other adaptor which fit so i thought y not ?

it fried the hard disk n i lost loadsa valuable stuff

so dont mess about wid power requirements.

Hi of course it would be better that you use a higher wattage power supply...ishaan is a bit out of context tho... otherwise the card might run slow, like at 4x or slower...because the speed depends upon the voltage at the AGP port....or your power supply might blow a fuse....worst case scenario is that...or if you use a heavy graphic application, wattage might dip and restart your computer.

Well i ran a 6600GT on a 300W psu .... well the final power usage depend on the remaining components too ... considering that u have low power consumption with ur remaining components u should be able to use it on a 300W psu ... but nevertheless ... better safe than sorry ...

Also check this site for an average idea about how much power will be consumed by ur rig with the 6600 ....Power Usage Test

In fact i'm using a I-box 350W psu currently .... and if ur upgrading ur psu then get a 350W Antec psu ..

I am in a similar position. I have 300W psu, and wishing to buy 6600 GT.

@deathvirus : any links where I can check the details of psu's > 350W, preferably 450W. Is it going to cost a bomb.
